Ochopee Post Office, Smallest in the U.S., Florida
Additional Details:
| The Ochopee Post Office in Florida, considered the smallest in the United States, is located in Big Cypress National Preserve. Originally an irrigation pipe shed for the J. G. Gaunt Company tomato farm, it was converted in 1953 by postmaster Sidney Brown after a fire destroyed the previous post office and general store. It serves a three-county area, including Seminole and Miccosukee Indians, and also functions as a Trailways bus ticket station. Its famed postmark is popular with tourists and collectors. The property was acquired by the Wooten Family in 1992. |
